A Letter from Louise
Dear friends,
Are you, or is someone that you know: socially isolated, elderly, living alone or likely to benefit from receiving a regular letter in the post from a pen pal?
Our highly successful A Letter from Louise Project matches clients with volunteer pen pal writers to establish regular contact for friendly conversation and an exchange of stories. In this technological age, there is nothing quite so pleasant and charming as receiving a hand-written letter, knowing that someone has put a lot of time and thought into it. Our clients and pen pals also send each other photographs and even little paintings!
